Speaker 1: Here we go. Welcome. It's our number one, hour one

2
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 1: of the original Recipe podcast, not to be confused with

3
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 1: the Extra Crispy and there will be new episodes on

4
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:17,120
Speaker 1: the fourth of July weekend every single day the fifth

5
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: Hour podcast. But here in our number one of the

6
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:24,440
Speaker 1: Original Recipe podcast, the Andre Ayton has made his decision.

7
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: He was let go, fired by the Trailblazers. He's going

8
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 1: to the Los Angeles Lakers. What are the odds that

9
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: DeAndre Ayton reinvents himself as a Laker? Also, how do

10
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: you process the Milwaukee Bucks leaking that they were upset

11
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 1: with Dame Lillard rehabbing his achilles injury in Portland. Apparently

12
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: he didn't get he didn't get permission for that, saying

13
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: it wasn't approved. So how do you process that? We'll

14
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: talk about that and Mike Brown. All signs pointing to

15
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: Mike Brown being named the new coach of the Knickerbockers.

16
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 1: Is that an upgrade or a downgrade? We'll examine that

17
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,559
Speaker 1: as well on the second half of the day night

18
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: radio doubleheader. We string it together in our number one.

19
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:20,200

29
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: part by our friends at tire Ract. For over forty years,

Speaker 1: Way Tire Buying Show b and our lead this hour

35
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: from pro Bouncy Ball the day night double header, Day

36
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: night doubleheader coverage continue. So our little filling stuff during

37
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: the day locally here in La. But the high speed

38
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: sports wire does not slow down. It does not, So

39
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: we have a follow up follow up to a previous

40
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: Mala monologue. We talked about this a couple of days ago,

41
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: and the Portland Trailblazers decided that they did not want

42
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 1: the services of DeAndre Eighton anymore, so they worked a

43
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: buyout to get rid of him. So he came a

44
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: free agent to roam around wherever he wants, wherever his

45
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: heart desires. The NBA so free agent center DeAndre Ayton.

46
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: The decision is in. He is no longer unemployed. I

47
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: know you're very concerned about this. If you did not

48
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: hear by now, perhaps perhaps you tuned out, you were

49
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 1: not listening. We have learned, though, it's been a double

50
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: and triple confirmed that DeAndre Ayton is taking his talent,

51
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 1: if you want to call it that, to the Lakers

52
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: a two year deal to have heartache in the playoffs

53
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: with the Lakers. The deal includes the player options, so

54
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: it's really like a one year deal. But the deal

55
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: between Portland and eight they had a falling out. So

56
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: he goes to LA eight And in between the buyout

57
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: from the Trailblazers and the money, the new money the

58
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: Lakers are going to pay him, he will earn thirty

59
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: four million dollars to play pro bouncy ball and will

60
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: likely miss half the games. And then when he plays,

61
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: he'll be engaged about half the time of those games.

62
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: So eight and will turn twenty seven on July twenty third,

63
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: So he's got three weeks to go here until he

64
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 1: turns twenty seven. And he averaged a pedestrian fourteen points

65
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 1: a game, did have ten rebounds a game, shot fifty

66
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 1: six percent for the Portland Trail Blazers down the Oregon

67
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 1: Trail last year. So let us discuss the question DeAndre

68
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: Ayton he goes to the Lakers, what are the odds

69
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: that he reinvents himself and turns out to be the

70
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 1: player he's supposed to be and not the player that

71
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: he has been. So I've got house plans, middle school

72
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: group chat, and T shirt cannon, and we will combine

73
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: all of these things together and we're gonna make the Babaganoosh.

74
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: We're gonna make the babagan so a the word reinvent

75
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: to use that word that he's not going to reinvent himself.

76
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go police on that idea. And I know

77
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: because I live in Los Angeles, LA is a town

78
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 1: that when you think about the history of transforming underachieving

79
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: seven foot players into gladiators, they have a rich history

80
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: of that, unless they don't right now. It is a land.

81
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: If you want to kill Smoothie, you can get that.

82
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: If you want to hang out with social media influencers,

83
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: they're all over the place and a sun tannocean here,

84
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 1: there and everywhere. You've got that. Listen eighton. He's played

85
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: now with two different teams. He has not shown any

86
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: of that so called Mamba mentality. In fact, he's the

87
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: antithesis of that. He is more likely, by the time

88
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: he's done with the Lakers, more likely to have opened

89
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: a juice bar in Van Eyes than he is to

90
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: have made an All Star team as a Laker. And

91
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: with the Suns, he is not a team that was

92
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: in the finals. Maybe they gagged against the Milwaukee Bucks

93
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: and the finals a couple years back. You remember that.

94
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: So he was with the Suns. It was a finals team. Grant,

95
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: it was kind of a flukey finals run. But they

96
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:10,239
Speaker 1: were in the finals and in the finals. I remember

97
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:14,359
Speaker 1: we did monologues about it. But DeAndre Ayton approached NBA

98
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: Finals games like he was playing rec ball at the YMCA.

99
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: It's like la la la la la, I said, the

100
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: Boys and Girls Club the YMCA. So DeAndre. He plays

101
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: in cruise control. At least that's how he has played.

102
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 1: He has been dining on room service and sleeping through

103
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: a wake up call since he entered the NBA in

104
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 1: the twenty eighteen draft. And trust me watching him play,

105
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 1: and I'm not just being a shock dog, I don't

106
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: know least a shocking take. Like I've literally seen house

107
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: plants that play with more perseverance and more and have

108
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: more energy than DeAndre Ayton plays professional basketball. Yeah, there'll

109
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 1: be at random night where he'll show up and he'll

110
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: be engaged and all that. I don't doubt that's gonna happen.

111
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe he'll even stat a couple of good games

112
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: together and play well for a week, But just don't

113
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: count on it, right, And what about the numbers? He

114
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: averaged a double double? What about the numbers? All right? Well,

115
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: his nickname should be stove Top because it's stat stuffing

116
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: statistics that look nice to the uneducated fan, but they

117
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: have little to no impact on winning games. That's DeAndre

118
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: Ayton in a nutshell period. Stop now one of the

119
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: teams that supposedly contacted him. And there's Indiana. Now Indiana

120
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: needs a center because they lost their center to the

121
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: Milwaukee Bucks. And the reason the Bucks got their center,

122
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: mister Turner, is because the Milwaukee Bucks are going to

123
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: eat one hundred thirteen million dollars, no barbecue sauce, no

124
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: honey mustard, no dipping sauce, one hundred and thirteen million

125
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: to pay damn literally go away. So now there's some

126
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: new report out on that if you saw this or not,

127
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: and maybe not, but how do you process a story

128
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: that has been leaked by the Bucks that one of

129
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: the factors in buying out Damian Lillard is that they

130
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: were upset that Dame Time was going to rehab or

131
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: had been rehabbing his achilles injury in Portland. They said

132
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: it was not improved, not approved, not approved by the

133
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: big shots there in Milwaukee. So how do you process that?

134
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: So I love this because it happens ninety nine point

135
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: nine percent of the time, the classic sports breakup where

136
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 1: both sides pretend that they get along with each other.

137
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: They sing Kumbai Yah, right, they wish each other the

138
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: best and all that stuff the best means as good

139
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: as all the rest, And at the same time they

140
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:57,719
Speaker 1: are rushing to their phones to send text messages in

141
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: to their friends, their useful idiots in the media, and

142
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 1: they're leaking all the petty grievances that each side has

143
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,439
Speaker 1: here to the media and it ends up being like

144
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: a middle school group chat where they're just throwing all

145
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: kinds of crap out there, right, all kinds of crap

146
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: out there. Some of it's true, some of it's not.

147
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: Like the Bucks didn't just wave Damian Lillard like on

148
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: his way out, they leaked that they were upset with

149
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: him because he wanted to rehab in Portland where his

150
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: kids are. The horror of horse a thirty four year

151
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: old father wants to be near his family while learning

152
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: to walk again because his achilles was shredded like shredded

153
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:40,559
Speaker 1: chicken and how dare him? And it's it's part of

154
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 1: the story where, if you follow the story, we've seen

155
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: these kind of hostile sports breakups that have happened, these

156
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: sports divorces. It's the part of the story where the

157
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,079
Speaker 1: Bucks want you to believe that they were the aggrieved party,

158
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: that they that they they were the ones that were

159
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 1: the victims. This is it didn't work out that da

160
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,319
Speaker 1: going back to Portland was some kind of betrayal, is

161
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: what it's being tossed out as I mean, that's that's

162
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: the NBA. It's not a hostage negotiation. And for the

163
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: Milwaukee Bucks, Damian Lillward was the big flex. You swung,

164
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: you try to hit a grand slam and you popped

165
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: up meekly to the catcher. That's what you did. It happens,

166
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,959
Speaker 1: and so now you lick your wounds and you move on,

167
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: kind of like the team in New York, we pivot.

168
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: Last word here we go now to Gotham, Midtown, Manhattan, where,

169
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: unless there's a last minute snaffoo, we have a new

170
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: coach for the fledgling NBA team in the Big Apple,

171
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: Mike Brown. What can Brown do for you? Mike Brown

172
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: named coach of the Knicks, although things still have to

173
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: be worked out the crossing of the t's the dot

174
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: in the eyes, but being reported it's a done deal,

175
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: barring some kind of last minute snaffoo. Mike Brown gonna

176
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: be the coach of the Knickerbockers. Is this an upgrade

177
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: or a downgrade? Upgrade or downgrade? Mike Brown coaching the Knicks?

178
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: So this does not take a high basketball IQ. It

179
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,959
Speaker 1: does not. You do not have to be some kind

180
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: of insider to know. Congratulations to the New York Knicks.

181
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: They have just downgraded, right, They've downgraded from a nice

182
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: bunker to a beach house and a hurricane is coming

183
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: to town. All right, now it looks nice, no beach house,

184
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 1: but wait till that storm arrives. Not so much. So

185
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: you let me get it straight. You gave Tom Thibodeau

186
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: a pink slip, and this is your solution. This is

187
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: your solution, really like you had no plan. The guy

188
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: that helped drag the rotting carcass of the Knickerbockers out

189
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 1: of the Dolan Dungeon as they call it in Midtown

190
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 1: Manhattan and Madison Square into the Eastern Conference Finals first

191
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: time since AOL dial up internet was still a thing,

192
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:13,079
Speaker 1: And you let that go for Mike bleeping Brown. Are

193
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 1: you kidding me? Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb. Yeah, Brown has

194
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: been fired more than the T shirt cannon at your

195
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: local minor league ballpark. My god, uh, Cleveland got rid

196
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: of him twice. The Lakers had him for a cup

197
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 1: of coffee. They dumped him after one year, after five games.

198
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: I think it was five games if I remember. They

199
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:38,319
Speaker 1: got rid of him. Sacramento just had him they made

200
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,839
Speaker 1: the playoffs and they still dumped Mike Brown. This was

201
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 1: mid season, after thirty one games. So that's not a trend, okay,

202
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 1: that is what's called a pattern. And Tom Thibodeau, who

203
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: was I guess an acquired taste. Some we like the

204
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 1: way he coached from afar. We don't have any skin

205
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: in the game, but his teams had grit. There was

206
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: an edge to a Tom Thibodeau coach team. And when

207
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: you juxtapose that style to Mike Brown, when people talk

208
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 1: about Mike Brown, everyone says the same thing. Nice guy, right,

209
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 1: Nice guy boy, Mike Brown. Nice guy. Everyone's talking about

210
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: how players love Mike Brown. Man, you can't get enough

211
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: of Mike Brown. He's great. So how did that work

212
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 1: out for the Cavs? How did that work out for

213
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: the Lakers? How did that work out for the Kings?

214
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: So get to the point, please, So nobody is yapping

215
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: about the x's and o's the mad tactician that Mike

216
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 1: Brown is. So Mike Brown is essentially the NBA's version

217
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: of a substitute teacher in terms of coaching. He's the

218
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: guy that will show everyone loves the sub because you

219
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: know it's an easy day when the subs there, right, Yeah,

220
00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: the sub brings some snacks, maybe some crack or something

221
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: like that, and you get to watch movies all day

222
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: and it's great until a key moment comes up and

223
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 1: you need to execute and you haven't put the work

224
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: in and it all it's like a grenade. It just

225
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: blows up in your hands and it's a it's a disaster.

226
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: So that's where I am. But hey, listen, these are

227
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: the knicks, this is the real knicks. They had a

228
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: little taste of success with Tom Thibodeau, and now they

229
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: kicked his ass to the curb. And now they brought

230
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: in Mike Brown, who will be peaks and valleys, but

231
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: many more, many more valleys than peaks. These stumbling, bumbling

232
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: knickerbockers are back at it yet again. All right, it

233
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: is the Ban Mahler Show. If you would like to

272
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:13,639

273
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 1: NBA free agency period, DeAndre Ayton and berg Dog says.

274
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: He says, if you want a good laugh, take Tony

275
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: in the Bay Area's Advice and Google. David Vess watch

276
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 1: a Dufus break his arm going down a kid slide.

277
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 1: I heard what happened earlier with Rogan. The feud with

278
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: Vassa is back on. It never ended. The elitist David Vassy,

279
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 1: who does the Dodger postgame thing in La here and

280
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: our lead in most nights after the Dodger game, and

281
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 1: vassay he's been hanging out with all these millionaire baseball players.

282
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 1: He's he's lost his way. He has lost his way.

283
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 1: That's the reality. Josh Wrightson says he's in Nebraska, but

284
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,959
Speaker 1: he's a Bears fan. I guess he's a Bulls fan.

285
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:02,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe he's a Laker fan. He says.

286
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: Ben I so wanted to disagree with you on what

287
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,120
Speaker 1: you were going to say, but indeed, down deep down,

288
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 1: I was screaming, no, DeAndre Ayton. I'd rather have stuck

289
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: with Jackson Hayes. There you go. What else do we

290
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 1: have about page down? Brian says the Lakers are about

291
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 1: to get a reality check once DeAndre Ayton puts on

292
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: that uniform. Yeah, you're not kidding, Brian. That's a great

293
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 1: take by you, and I'm surprised you had that take.

294
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 1: I thought you'd have a different take, but that appears

295
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 1: to be what you're saying there, Brian. Now, yeah, DeAndre Ayden.

296
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: Every generation has players like this. They just kind of

297
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: go through the motions and there you know, they're half hearted.

298
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 1: They don't they have ability. If they don't fully monetize

299
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 1: their ability, although financially he's monetized his ability. What else

300
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:54,439
Speaker 1: we have, Tacoma Drew writes and says, A plus plus plus. Finally,

301
00:18:54,520 --> 00:19:00,400
Speaker 1: we agree spot on watching DeAndre Ayton play back basketball

302
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:04,400
Speaker 1: in slow motion and give zero effort, yet he still

303
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 1: has a golden ticket aka contract for millions of dollars.

304
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 1: It's insanity. Well, I wish we could all have that

305
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 1: where you just show up half ass and you get

306
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,360
Speaker 1: that money and you don't have to put the full

307
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 1: effort in there. It'd be great. Most people, though, actually

308
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 1: have to show up and put a good effort in

309
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 1: and can't just cut corners. But DeAndre, God bless him,

310
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 1: because he's tall and gifted athletically, he's been able to

311
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: figure that out how to circumvent the things that normal

312
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 1: people have to do in terms of like effort and

313
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: energy and things like that. Nature Boy writes in says

314
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: your your cohort. Fred Rogan could not help but sigh

315
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 1: and disgust when he heard eight Andy. I did a

316
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 1: daytime show on AM five point seventy in LA, the

317
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 1: flagship of Fox Sports Radio locally, and I was on

318
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: with Fred, who's the dean of La Sports and Fred

319
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 1: is from originally like a million years ago. He's from

320
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: Arizona and he's a Suns fan deep down, and so

321
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 1: he saw his heart just ripped out of his body

322
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: watching DeAndre Ayton not give a crap in the NBA

323
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 1: Finals against the Milwaukee Bucks. Now, Ryan writes in from

324
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,880
Speaker 1: San Diego, I think he's on the Laker payroll. He says,

325
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 1: what other options do the Lakers have? Taj Gibson, DeAndre Jordan,

326
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:26,159
Speaker 1: Keith Glass, Jack Sikma. The Lakers signing Ayton gives them

327
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 1: at least an asset. Okay, listen, if that helps you

328
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 1: get through the day. I don't want to be the

329
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: bearer of bad news here. If that helps you get

330
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: through the day, good luck to you, Ryan, God bless you.

331
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 1: And you think a team like the Portland Trailblazers who

332
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 1: decided this guy is such, he's such as bestis that

333
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 1: we have to bring in a hazmat crew to get

334
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:52,239
Speaker 1: rid of this stiff DeAndre Ayton, when they also they

335
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 1: had an asset, right, Ryan, they had an asset. The Trailblazers.

336
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 1: They don't have many good players. They could have traded.

337
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 1: They could have tradedre Aiden if he's such an asset,

338
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: why not he's a double double guy. But the Blazers

339
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 1: are like, this guy is such a loser. We can't

340
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 1: win with a guy like this. We have to kick

341
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 1: him out of Oregon and we'll have to pay him

342
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 1: to play the Lakers because the Trailblazers know when the

343
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: Lakers and Blazers play, they have an advantage. They are

344
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 1: on the power play when DeAndre Aiden's on the court

345
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 1: because most of the time he's not going through the

346
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 1: mot He's just going through the motions. He's not focused

347
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: now chipping the cues, writes In and says a plus

348
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 1: on the amount of monologue. Under normal circumstances. People might

349
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: want to make fun of the career of DeAndre Ayton,

350
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:44,239
Speaker 1: but one needs to remind themselves that this dude can

351
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,919
Speaker 1: afford to light Cuban cigars using one hundred dollars bills

352
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: without losing any sleep or even batting an eye. Well,

353
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,920
Speaker 1: no pushback on that. That does not mean, though, that

354
00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: that money that he's made is because he's he's earned

355
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: that money for actual performance consistently super market Steve writes

356
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,360
Speaker 1: and says, damn, I did not know the Knicks could

357
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: choose a head coach who made their their interest in

358
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: Don Staley look like a mensa move. Yeah, that's a

359
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 1: fair point, spots Weed writes in He's down the Oregon Trail.

360
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: He says, excellent malar monologue. We meaning Portland traded Yusuf

361
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 1: Nurkic for DeAndre Ayden and they both underperformed. I don't

362
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 1: see DA making any impact for the Lakers, which I'm

363
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: happy about. I'm experiencing great shot in freude right now. Well,

364
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 1: you should take extra shot in freuda because dope's like

365
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 1: that guy Ryan in San Diego. They drink that purple

366
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: and gold kool aid. They just they don't get it.

367
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,679
Speaker 1: They do not get it, do not get it. All right,

368
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:52,880
Speaker 1: we'll take some calls. It is a call in show.

369
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,640

00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: but not a Sacramento king because they're going the wrong direction.

376
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 1: They're going the wrong direction.

377

389

390
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 1: two point guards and now they have none. Right, they

391
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 1: had Dearon Fox and Halliburton, and they traded both of them,

392
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 1: and now they've just got this hodgepodge of a roster.

00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 1: and he he used to be a caller of the show,

449
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 1: but he couldn't handle calling overnight talk radio, so he

450
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 1: retired as a caller. And he has a addiction to

451
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:55,199
Speaker 1: buying lottery tickets. And mister mister blunt, he's calling himself now.

452
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,400

453
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: team in the NBA. Well, you might want to go

460
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,640
Speaker 1: there and hooked him up and all that was great

461
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: because that monologue was not just about the Lakers, you

462
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 1: dumb dumb. It was also the Milwaukee Bucks, which seemed

463
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 1: to be another team in the NBA, and the New

464
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: York Knickerbockers, another team in the NBA. So you choose

465
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: to listen to only what you want to hear, which

466
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 1: is a you problem, not a me problem. That's a

467
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 1: you problem. Sean and Portland right, sinceys the Blazers trading

468
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 1: DeAndre Ayton was the first I heard of him being

469
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 1: on the team. Well, there has been no reason to

470
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:55,639
Speaker 1: watch the Trail Blazers since the moment that Damian Lillar

471
00:27:55,760 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 1: left town. So those two things coincide with each other. Now,

472
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 1: speaking of pro bouncy ball and the wacky Tobacci of

473
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 1: the NBA, Kevin Durant is going to be traded. We

474
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 1: know that he's going to the Rockets. It's all done,

475
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 1: but it's not done. The trade has not been finalized yet.

476
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,879
Speaker 1: Now is there's some kind of glitch in the thing

477
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 1: of a jig? No, no, no, no, However, they're looking

478
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: at NBA history when Kevin Durant is ultimately traded, as

479
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 1: all these general managers have hired the salary cap experts,

480
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:37,719
Speaker 1: the nerds to come in here, the accountants to manage

481
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 1: the salary cap and try to finagle the salary cap.

482
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 1: And so now the Rockets. It's supposed to be just

483
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 1: a trade between the Suns and the Rockets, and now

484
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 1: we're being told they're going to add not one, not two,

485
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: not three, not four, not five, how about seven total teams.

486
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 1: It's very complicated behind a paywall on the athletic They

487
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 1: say that the trade of Durant from the Suns to

488
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 1: the Rockets the deal. By the time it's done, they're

489
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 1: anticipating a league record seven teams we'll get involved in this,

490
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 1: including the Atlanta Hawks, the Brooklyn Nets, the Warriors, the Lakers,

491
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 1: and the tim Barrew Wolves. They're still trying to figure

492
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 1: it out. They're figuring out exactly who's going where and

493
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: all this. Now, the previous record was set last summer

494
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 1: when technically Clay Thompson was a sign and trade to

495
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 1: the Dallas Mavericks and that was a six team trade. Now,

496
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: why why are are the NBA teams all partnering up

497
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 1: to make these massive trades Because about twenty five percent

498
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 1: we are told of the NBA teams are having issues

499
00:29:55,080 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 1: circumventing the salarycap. So it's it's moving money around, relocating

500
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 1: money to try to get around it. And so they

501
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 1: toss some things into this trade. And there's there's different layers.

502
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 1: It's all the red tape, you know, all the fine

503
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: print and all that. The trade cannot be finalized until

504
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 1: after the holiday weekend. So today's the July third, it's

505
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 1: still July second on the West coast, but it's July

506
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: third or July third show. The fourth is tomorrow, and

507
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 1: then on July sixth, that's when the free agency period

508
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 1: begins and the negotiating period it started back on Monday,

509
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 1: and so anyway, there's a lot of there. But the

510
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 1: seven seven teams supposedly will be part of this. Like

511
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 1: what are they just gonna throw in like second round picks?

512
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: Are they gonna what are they gonna do? They're gonna

513
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 1: toss in like a bag of popcorn or something like

514
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: that to make the salary cap numbers work?

515
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 4: Is that?

516
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 1: Is that how that goes? I don't know. All right,

517
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 1: let's go back to the phones and we'll say hello

518
00:30:55,160 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 1: to Andre who is in the Commonwealth. Hello, Andre, Welcome.

519
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 5: What's going on?

520
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 4: Ben? Good to be with you?

521
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 5: Yes on this Wednesday evening morning, depending on where you are.

522
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 5: I think the DeAndre Ayton move in your analysis is

523
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 5: spot on. They're going to be a much better team

524
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:20,239
Speaker 5: on paper, much better team on two K. But now

525
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 5: you have, instead of two massive egos, universes of machismo

526
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 5: with Luca and Lebron. Obviously they're determined to do things

527
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 5: their own way. Now you throw eight and in there

528
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 5: that's the third guy that's going to want to walk

529
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 5: to the beat of his own drum. And you know

530
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 5: how it all works together, it's going to be interesting.

531
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 5: I think this is, you know, comparable. You know Luca

532
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 5: how he plays, he needs that you know, lob threat,

533
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 5: that person to make those rim runs. So they wanted

534
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 5: to appease Luca. And they were in the same draft

535
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,479
Speaker 5: class together, right, Lucas should have been the number one

536
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 5: overall pick, you know, and it ended up being eight.

537
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 5: And who's had a kind of middling NBA career. Marvin

538
00:31:56,560 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 5: Bagley's been forgotten. Jared Jackson Junior has panned out, so

539
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 5: he's a step above, you know, one player who's a

540
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 5: clear butt. But he's really the weak link in that

541
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 5: draft class. If you kind of get rid of Marvin

542
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 5: Bagley a third, so you partner him and Luca, hopefully

543
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 5: you can find some symmetry. But you know, he's always

544
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 5: been he's never had a motor except for when you

545
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 5: need the contract and then he kind of regresses back.

546
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 1: Well even then when he needs a contract, he's just

547
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 1: like he just does the bare minimum. We all know

548
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 1: people like that at work. They just do the bare

549
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 1: minimum and they get away with it, and he's been

550
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 1: rewarded with the riches of Solomon or in this case,

551
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 1: the riches of the NBA and all that. I don't

552
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 1: want to redo the twenty eighteen draft, but that is

553
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 1: pretty impressive. If you look at the top picks there.

554
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 1: The only one that really effed up was the Sacramento

555
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 1: kingspick Marvin Bagley in like the top five. All everyone

556
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 1: else in the top five turned out to be at

557
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: least a pretty good NBA player. You know, Aydon's you know,

558
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: he's been to the finals. He's not great, but he's

559
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: better than Marvin Bagley and Trey Young's in that draft

560
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 1: class in twenty eighteen. And then you drop off to

561
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 1: Mo Bamba at number six. The great Mo Bamba, great name,

562
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 1: all name team Andre, not all game team Mo Bamba.

563
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 1: Wonderful name, not a wonderful game though.

564
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, the pride of New York City. You know, he

565
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 5: he's a New York guy, and uh, you know he'll

566
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 5: have work. You know, he's a rim protector and he'll

567
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 5: if he continues to defend and get some rebounds and

568
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 5: be a good teammate. But that's the other thing about eight.

569
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 5: And before we kick it over, you have some good

570
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 5: stuff on Mike Brown. And I'm obviously the leader of

571
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 5: the Tom Thibodeaux brigade, so just quickly on that. But

572
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 5: DeAndre and you know, he's he's a surly guy. You know,

573
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 5: he's just it's not just that he doesn't produce effort,

574
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 5: you know, he just he has his mood swings.

575
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 4: So j J.

576
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 5: Reddick, he's got his He's got his hands full. We'll see,

577
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 5: but they're better on paper. But Mike Brown, you know again,

578
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 5: he's essentially a Tips clone with hugs like he'll give

579
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 5: you a hug, he'll pats on the back, he'll smile

580
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 5: at you. But Mike Brown is an old tool coach,

581
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 5: coming from the Greg Papa this tradition. So we're of

582
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 5: the same mind on this. The knicks, you know, and

583
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 5: really what it came down too, I've thought about the

584
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 5: obvious Tips guy. It was a Jerry Jones Jimmy Johnson

585
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 5: situation between Leon.

586
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 4: Rose and Tibbs.

587
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:11,320
Speaker 5: And not that Tibbs is I'm not making that comparison.

588
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 5: But he did bring prosperity to New York and they

589
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,439
Speaker 5: would be better off with him on the sideline. Rather

590
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 5: than this. You know, wild goose traits in bringing in

591
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 5: Mike Brown, but.

592
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:23,240
Speaker 1: I disagree on I think this is all James Dolan

593
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: and Tom Thibodau wasn't playing ball, and Dolan was embarrassed

594
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 1: because the way the Knicks played, they lost to a team.

595
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 1: They should have beaten the Pacers. They were more talented then,

596
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 1: but they lost to the to the less talented team.

597
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 1: And Mike Brown is going to be a good middle manager.

598
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,320
Speaker 1: He's going to do what James Dolan wants. And but

599
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 1: Leon Rose was Tom Thibodau's agent. I find it hard

600
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 1: believe that Leon Rose was the guy that did this.

601
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 1: I think it's the owner that whacked the coach. And

602
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 1: then this guy, Mike Brown is going to come in

603
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 1: there and he'll he'll massage the egos and all that.

604
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 1: And he's a nice guy. Everyone loves him, and you know,

605
00:34:57,760 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 1: the team will underachieve and then they'll get rid of

606
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 1: him in a a couple of years and bring somebody else.

607
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 1: And I well leave it there. Andre, thank you, the

608
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: Great Andre and his dog willis in the Commonwealth. It

609
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 1: is the Ben Mahler Show. Time now for the who

610
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:09,840
Speaker 1: Am I Game? This is where we pretend to be

611
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 1: somebody else else. We call it the who am I? Game?

612
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 1: So Paul Skeins, that's a pitcher, pretty good one. He

613
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 1: is on pace for an eight plus war. That means

614
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: not actual war, no bombs, no bombs, This means wins

615
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 1: above replacement. So Paul Skeins is on pace for an

616
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 1: eight plus wins above replacement year, and that has not

617
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 1: happened for a Pittsburgh Pirates player since me. Again, Paul

618
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 1: Skeins starting pitcher been a phenom. Pirates they suck, but

619
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:46,880
Speaker 1: they've played well this week. Paul Skin's on pace for

620
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 1: eight plus wins above replacement this year. That has not

621
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 1: been accomplished by a Pirates player since me. Who am I?

622
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:56,160
